The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (WN)

Time goes back a little.

The Kingdom of Surantania, a room in the royal palace, was surrounded by a harsh atmosphere.

Let's hear the report.

It was Dominic Goltz, the Chancellor, who opened his mouth with a difficult face.

On the conference table, which can be seated eight people at a time, the ministers of military affairs, interior affairs, etc. of this country, as well as the chiefs of each knighthood regiment, the division chiefs of the court magic division, apart from which, at the far end, the king sat. The next person to open his mouth was the Minister of Military Affairs, Joseph Hawk. Low, weighty voice sounds.

"Things haven't changed, it's inconceivable. Crusade in turn in each Knights and manage to hold out, but there will be demons overflowing from the woods in the near future as it is"

What is called a demon is born when more than a certain intensity of temper is gathered, and a demon is born strong enough to temper. Qi occurs in close proximity, and the mechanism of why it occurs has not yet been clarified. And chi is easy to accumulate in dark places, especially where people don't live, such as forests and caves. As long as it is only easy to accumulate, there is no problem, but the demon is born from its temper, and the demon moves near villages, towns, etc., to cause human damage. Although this is such a temper, it is possible to diminish the ambient temper by defeating the demon, and by continuing to defeat the demon, the temper can be prevented from thickening.

At normal times, the regular crusades of each Knights are sufficient to prevent demons from overflowing from easily distracted areas around the village and the city. However, there were times in this country when the temper grew much faster than the speed at which demons were defeated every few generations. That's exactly what the present is. Each Knights has responded by increasing the frequency of crusades. However, the number of crusades only increased year after year, and a year or two after it was carried over was the general agreement of the Minister of Military Affairs and the Knights. If it becomes unbearable, the surrounding villages and cities will be attacked, overflowing with demons that could not be crusaded, from places that are easily distracted.

Following the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, Alphonse Hummel, opens his mouth.

"There have been reports from nobles everywhere that it is gradually becoming more difficult to deal with them."

Crusades have been carried out by the Knights for forests around the Wang capital, etc., but in the territory of the nobility of the province, each nobleman has ordered those in the territory to crusade. People in this territory are not peasants, they are mercenaries everywhere. Mercenaries from all over gather as mercenary regiments, asking their mercenary regiments to crusade demons in exchange for rewards. That's how we've maintained local security, but the amount of demons these days, the lord's money to give them as a reward, hasn't been chased away, and it's getting harder to deal with. Mercenaries are also at risk. Even if it's where we live, we can't move as a mercenary group for too low a reward. If, for various reasons, a mercenary regiment cannot move, or a mercenary regiment is not enough, the Knights of the Royal Palace may also lend a hand, if normal. But now it was all over the handling around Wang Capital, and it was not a very hands-on situation to the region.

The Chancellor, who further deepened the frown wrinkles in the answers of the military, interior and ministers, next asked Michiel Hoover, division head of the special services division.

"What's going on with the search for the Virgin?

"... Unfortunately, we haven't found it yet"

Hoover's voice was also dark and heavy.

When the time came to become more intense, a maiden, called the Virgin, always appeared somewhere in the country. The technique used by the Virgin to distract her was powerful, which also made it possible to slaughter the demons one after the other. Thus the appearance of the Virgin has made it possible to contain the overflowing temper and survive the times.

From that history, which continues with the cotton league, we anticipated that the Virgin should also be showing up somewhere this time, with the Secret Service conducting searches everywhere. It was a Virgin who was thought to be soon to be found, but contrary to expectations, three years after I started looking for her, I still hadn't found her. In advance of the approaching time of ruin, the Secret Service was also diligently conducting searches in every corner of the country. Every time I couldn't find him, I thought he might not have been born yet, even taking him to the same place over and over again. Still haven't found the Virgin.

A painful silence fell indoors.

"Can you tell the legend?"

It was Yuri Dreves, division leader of the Court Demon Division, who was pompous. In that whisper, which echoed thoughts in the quiet room, the gaze of those who reach the table concentrates on Dreves. Dreves glanced around and lifted the paperwork he had largely placed in front of him.

"There is a ritual called [Virgin Summoning Ritual]"

"It is...... Sure, it's a famous story, but isn't it?

"No, it's a true story. Here's what the ritual says."

"What is it?

"Among the books that were kept in the forbidden library was the book of sorcery at the time the ritual took place. It was recorded in it."

"Is that content, something you can trust?

"I don't know. The method was listed, but the procedure is quite complicated. You'll also need the number of magicians to perform the ritual. I thought it would be five minutes to succeed or fail."

"Oh no..."

"But I think we should give it a shot rather than wait for the demons to overflow without doing anything."

[Ritual of the Virgin Summons] is a ritual constructed in ancient times when the Virgin did not appear, no matter how intense she became, as she is now. Created with all the knowledge of the wise men of time, this ritual summons a maiden who becomes a Virgin far more than the other. From what I hear, it sounds exactly like the ritual we need right now. But this ritual, at the time it was created, was performed only once, and not to this day, and it is what I slept in. Therefore, it was also an uncertain ritual to succeed even if it went according to the procedure. The number of tools and sorcerers required for rituals is also high, and just performing rituals can be costly. It was an inappropriate ritual to perform in ordinary times, but now that the deadline was already approaching, such a few things were not an issue.

The king opened his mouth, listening in silence.

"Do [the rite of the Virgin's summons]. The Demon Division, prepare for it immediately. Otherwise, stay on the mission."

Thus, for the first time in hundreds of years [the rite of the Virgin's summons] was to take place in the Kingdom of Surantania.

[Ritual of the Virgin Summons] succeeded.

By [Ritual of the Virgin Summons], maidens were summoned from different worlds. But there was a problem here. The summoned maidens were two (...). According to the records, the Virgin was only one when she had ever appeared in the country and when she had once been summoned. Is only one of the two summoned a Virgin, or are they both Virgins, and not both? The leader of the Court Demon Division, who seems to be the only one able to judge it, fell right after performing the ritual due to the recoil of the [Virgin Summoning Rite] and still remains asleep.

Further problems persist.

It was the day after [the rite of the Virgin's summons] that the heavy towns of the country learned that there were two candidates for the Virgin (...). The success of the ceremony was immediately reported to the King from the First Prince, who was in charge of the ceremony in his sole hope. The report from the First Prince was that the Virgin had been summoned safely, and there was no mention of numbers. While Heavy Town and the others thought this would calm down a little, Heavy Town and the others held their heads in all the news that came in the next day. The news was that for some reason the First Prince spoke only to one candidate for the Virgin and left the other candidate for the Virgin on the spot. Moreover, the other candidate for Virgin, who took the form of a disregard by the First Prince, was angry at the response and apparently tried to leave the castle. Fortunately, the actions of the knights who were on the spot seemed to keep me in mind to manage to leave the castle immediately, but it was not hard to imagine that her mental state of mind would have been infinitely worse for this country.

"What is he doing..."

The voice echoed on the spot, like the king's tired, how tired the fact was.
